Summer Card Camp 2: Week 1 Day 2 & 3

Hello!

I have two cards to share today based on the below color scheme and sketches from week 1 of Summer Card Camp 2.

First up is a card inspired by the watercolor technique Shari Carroll used in the Week 1 Day 2 lesson as well as the first and second sketches above. I colored a stamp from the Hero Arts brush strokes set with Gelatos, spritzed with water and dragged it across some water color paper (repeated this same process for each color). Then I die cut the banner and adhered really well to the front of the card since the paper was warping a little. For the sentiment I used the MFT happy birthday die set.

Next up is a card inspired by Kelly Purkey's masked background card from Week 1 Day 3 and the third sketch above. First I cut a 4''x2.75'' rectangle out of masking paper and placed it in the center of the card front. Then I stamped the honeycomb border in Hero Arts butter bar ink and removed the masking paper. Then I used a cloud stencil, a dauber and some Hero Arts soft pool ink for the middle background. I used my Martha Stewart scoring board to make the outline of the border more defined. Then I finished the card off with the bee image and sentiment.
